EU says diplomats blocked from entering Hebron
The EU says German and French diplomats were blocked from entering the West Bank city of Hebron.
The EU says the two diplomats were on their way to the city to present an award to prominent Palestinian rights activist Issa Amro, when they were stopped at a checkpoint.
“Such actions obstruct diplomatic efforts & violate established protocols,” the EU’s mission to the Palestinian Authority posts on X.
1/2 Concerned over the denial of access to the French Consul General & German Representative at a checkpoint in Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, to award the Franco-German Human Rights Prize to Issa Amro. Such actions obstruct diplomatic efforts & violate established protocols.
